[Lecture and reading at the University at Buffalo, June 19, 1973] / Ted Enslin.

Recorded at the University at Buffalo on June 19, 1973 on a 90 minute Sony sound cassette. Recorded by Allen De Loach and acquired by the Poetry Collection.

Poet Ted Enslin presents a lecture titled: "The function of the long poem" dealing with the creation of poetry. He reads a few of his own poems, but the breaks between the lecture and the poems are sometimes difficult to discern. The lecture ends with a question and answer session.
